Angeleri Rivers a Straight to Bust Set of Aces

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up with about 16,500 already in the pot and a board of {8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{a-Spades} on the felt. Robert Angeleri, the small blind, had bet 8,000 on the turn, sending his opponent into the tank. After a minute or two, the opponent piled his remaining chips into a single stack and placed them in the middle, moving all in for 18,500. Angeleri thought for a bit, but made the call fairly quickly with his opponent covered.

Opponent: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Robert Angeleri: {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The opponent was in great position to triple up with his set of aces, but need to avoid a seven or queen on the river, which would complete Angeleri's straight draw. Disaster struck for the opponent as the {q-Spades} hit the table on the river, giving Angeleri the straight, enough to crack his opponents set, sending him to the rail.
